Quiet Empire

Rate this book
As our empire rises, it’s time to remove all those who don’t belong.

Sienna
Now joined in power with Elio, we hatch a plan to show to the world that the Capri name will rule over Italy.

The decision stirs panic and causes a ripple effect throughout the country. Friendships and loyalties are tested. Truths are revealed as we prepare to fight any who oppose us.

With a careful eye on our enemies, we are circled by others with false intent. Secrets and weaknesses are revealed and lies are taken to the grave.

Elio
With our past behind us and our wounds healed, it’s time to take things to the next level. We tore down one kingdom, and now we’ll build another…together.

I knew that if we followed tradition, we’d look death in the eye every day. But I am a fighter, as is Sienna. We’re determined to have the life we’ve worked so desperately to build.

Meanwhile, a third player is still there on the sidelines trying to make his play, and when he does, it’s the biggest blow of them all.

With an enemy at every corner, we must fight through the chaos and bring an end to the Coppola name. All must submit to the Capri Syndicate.
After all, only one family can rule all of Italy.

Wow! Did that really happen!?

I read it, so it must have! This ending gave me everything I didn't know I needed to wrap this series.

The dark web of lies, have come into the light. The spiders web has been torn down. But what happened to the spider?

Well it got caught in its own web of lies. And now to the spider states the fly, "Today is the day you die."

Could it be that really the one whose truth was really the lie?

But its up to you to decide who's the spider & who's the fly.

Guess you'll have to read it to find out!

Another amazing read by my absolutely favourite author!

She has brought to a close the exciting mafia story of Elio and Sienna. I must say, this author sure knows how to sneak up and throw in the most unexpected events. Loved them all.

The unusual way some of the characters are killed off, really needed those moments - I love the way her revenge comes about.

The family that surrounds our lovers, some good, some not so good - but Elio’s parents are just the absolute best people, me as a reader, can’t help but love them too; the previous characters (from other books) that are mentioned or are in the book - hello Trigger & Tess - well they have a special place in my heart.

Their wedding sounded amazing, I loved the glimpse into the future for the family.

Jodi has rendered me speechless with the end of Quiet Mafia!!! From the very beginning you’re drawn in to the power that Elio and Sienna have. It doesn’t hurt that she threw in some of our favorites from her other books. The crossover was unexpected but done so beautifully. But Elio and Sienna were meant to change the history of their syndicates combined and they’re a power couple you do NOT want to mess with.

I absolutely cannot believe how this book dragged me right back into Elio and Sienna's lives. So many deep emotions were captured within the pages. There were times I was so mad that I wanted to throw the book but I held it all in and kept reading. The pages turned so fast they should have been on fire, just like the story was. So combustible, flammable, igniting the senses and emotions to encourage you to read faster and then double back and make sure you were taking it all in properly. The characters were so real, lively and yet flawed just like you or I. You can't be perfect but Elio and Sienna are exactly that. Their lives are tangled, woven together from book to book, waiting for the resolution that puts them on their thrones, right where they were meant to be. Their future was always there in front of them, they just had to get past all the detris and debris first to claim their happy ever after.

I'm not going to say a single thing about what happens in this book because you have to read it for yourself to believe it. So many twists and turns in the plot that you almost need a map to follow along but there's no better place to be lost than in the pages of this book. Another masterpiece in the whole Capri and Coppola world. Utter perfection can't be found anywhere else in the literary world.

Wow! That was a lot of surprise, shock and "no way" exclamations for just one book. The action never stopped. So many secrets were unearthed and resolved in a beautiful, bloody manner and that always gets a thumbs up from me.

Elio and Sienna had to keep their wits about them while they show the whole of Italy who’s boss, or who the bosses are. What a fabulous team they made. There are some adorable, trustworthy characters who I fell in love with and a whole mountainous pile of doubtful snakes that I discovered too.

I had to have my brain firmly in working order to keep up with who was trustworthy, who wasn’t and who was going to shock me by being the enemy that I never saw coming. I finally found out the plots, plans and actions of the ones I’d been hyperventilating about throughout this whole series!

I read until the early hours and then had so many dreams about the scenarios in this book that my head is still reeling. This was excellent writing.

The King and Queen have arrived!! This series has had so many twists and turns I didn’t know who was going to end up doing what! I can honestly say though, this was the PERFECT ending for them. They fought hard to get what they wanted and managed to out maneuver almost everyone that was in their way. My favorite part about this series is the growth of the characters throughout each book. We got to see them climb to their positions from childhood through today and man, did they ascend into the gloriously dark couple that I knew they could be. JL Drake does romance mafia like no one else! Watch out for those crossovers and Easter eggs. She’s sneaky and always seems to have more up her sleeve. I’m so excited for what’s to come!

"Life can be so simple at times, while other times it confuses us and makes it almost impossible to navigate."

Sienna & Elio love story is coming to a conclusion and I LOVE when we get the vow of the Crow and the Crown. It's part of their love story and the Crow is a important. I remember book one when Elio gave her a necklace of the Crow & Crown to show she is with the family & his young love. We also see them grow into a dangerous & powerful Don & Donna over Italy what journey they had....no spoilers

"Let the crow fly high and watch over those who seek to harm.
Let the loyal warriors fight with strength to protect our families.
Let the crown rest on the head of who will rule our people and honor all that we stand for. For we are the dark crow who watch over all."

LOVE Andrea so much Elio's mam when she brought Sienna's journal from her childhood she filled in some questions that young Sienna had at that time. Beautiful soul she has and I loved her since book 1 too she just wanted her son and Sienna togther since they were children 🖤

They are some sweet moments that will melt you and don't worry there is still plently of action and suspense. There is surpise TWIST & BETRAYAL that i didn't see come cause i didn't think they were brave enough...no spoilers

Romeo & Juliet Mafia Style gets a very different ending from Shakespeare's ending...

MY FAV APPEARS TRIGGER !! I love that we are getting updates on the Devil’s Reach family and I am praying that we return there world soon 🙏😍

This was an amazing ending to this series. To watch as Elio and Sienna grow into their new roles was so exciting. To see their love mature and them face one obstacle after another try to tear them apart, but it only makes them stronger and more determined. And to watch as others also got what they deserved was very pleasing. If only Wyatt had gotten his HEA.

This series was surprisingly amazing!

It's been forever since I've read a mafia series that have some really good mafia action and family rivalry.

All the entanglements, betrayals, lies and secrets comes to a conclusion in this last book and I freaking love it!

It also doesn't hurt that Elio and Sienna are so damn good together.

I'll definitely go after other series by this author.

The final book to the Quiet Mafia series is here! J.L. Drake did such an amazing job at wrapping up the series. I was hooked on Sienna and Elio from the beginning, and the ending book finished it off perfectly. You can see the growth of the characters, of them stepping into their new roles over the mafia families. The twists and turns you have come to expect from J.L. Drake are definitely there! There is always some surprises in her books. I was happy to see the unexpected guests that popped in, and how they fit into the storyline was perfection! You definitely want to read this book. There is never a dull moment in a Drake book!

What an ending I don’t want it to be over!
This book will blow your mind and you still won’t want to put it down. It will 100% take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Elio and Sienna’s story has become one of my favorites and as someone who isn’t usually a fan of mafia I have to say this one is different in the best of ways and i cannot wait to read it again. J.L. Drake has the best way of making you love her characters even as she twists your emotions into a ball and I again cannot recommend this book enough

Quiet Empire is the EPIC final book of J.L. Drake’s mafia world! QE is peppered with deliciously dark moments, igniting scenes, and boisterous laughter.

We become immersed into the world of Elio and Sienna, sharing in their relationship growth, engaging story, and adventurous lives while bringing awareness to a wealth of information. The thrill ride continues from the ensnaring opening line to the gasp worth finale.

This final book has the best sense of closure and completion. It is just perfect! The series is a highly addicting and now resides amongst my all-time “Faves” list!

THE.ULTIMATE.WRAP to a story that has captivated attention since book 1. All the twisted tales within these powerful families, the path to power was deliciously served to the reader along with one dish of the DEVILS SON HIMSELF and of course his better half ( if you know you know). Love all this read had to offer.

The twists kept coming…

This was the last story in the continuing series of Elio and Sienna and, wow, was it a spectacular ending! Each instalment revealed more about the characters, their relationships and the secrets that bound them. This wasn’t just a satisfying conclusion, no, it was a thrill-a-moment, (slightly) blood-soaked, testament to the power of family. And of love…

Elio and Sienna seemed fated but was it real? Would love and trust trump every incredible obstacle that landed in their path? With bullets flying and loyalty put to the test, the mind-bending twists their relationship took meant a heck of a lot of speed page turning and uninterrupted reading time. I didn’t lift my eyes for a minute as the hits kept coming and missing a paragraph, a sentence, meant I would be lost in what I might think was actually happening…

Be prepared for anything and everything in this organized crime world that functioned under tight rules and then proceeded to blow each one up… Fabulous characters and emotion galore, this story – this series – are at the top of my favourite reads this year! ~Diane, 5 stars

What a fitting end to a great series!!! If you haven’t already this is definitely your time to read the whole Quiet Mafia series. Quiet Empire is the fourth & final book of the series and it does not disappoint. All the twists & turns will keep you on your toes to the very end. Drake did such a great job of giving Elio & Sieanna the ending they deserved. All the questions you had throughout the whole series you finally get answered. Beware this is a dark mafia romance and with that you get the action & violence. And let’s not forget the spice!! 🥵 If your already a fan of JL Drake you’ll love the cameos and connections to her other books. And if your new to Drake what a great time to dive in. You can head over to her website and she gives a reading order for her books. This book & whole series is a definite recommend for me. Now like I said this is a Dark mafia rom so check the triggers make sure your comfortable with what you are reading. You are getting some graphic violent scenes, talk of drug use, mention of abortion and of course some hot spicy scenes. Just to mention a few triggers. Dive in and enjoy this wild & crazy ride. Happy Reading Book Besties💙

Noooooooo!!!!
Please tell me this isn’t overrrrrr!!
I loved this series so much. One of my faves writing my favorite genre? There was no chance it wasn’t going to be AMAZING!! When I first heard she was writing mafia I screamed!!! When I read the first book I needed a drink. When I devoured the second I needed a doctor. After I digested the third I wanted more. When I inhaled the last one I panicked. This series was everything I ever wanted. Of course it gave me characters I wanted to murder but that’s the fun of these worlds she creates. You can’t love everyone. Elio and Sienas story always had me on the edge of my seat. I fell in love with them both right away. Though I have to say Nikki and Vincent have to be my all time favorites. I am praying they get their stories. Those will definitely be entertaining to read. I love the mix of all the worlds she creates. Seeing old characters just makes me happy. Not to mention they were my first favorites 🤫I know the story has to end at some point but I still want more 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Wow!! This is the ending to a great series, it is the finale of Elio and Sienna story. There are so many twists and turns that you think no way but in the end it is oh wow. I do not usually like Mafia stories but this series drew me in and did not want to let go. I fell in love with the characters and loved all the dark and mysterious weaving that JL Drake did to the finale book and gave Elio and Sienna their HEA..I could not put this book down and was so sad to see it end. I promise you this that this series will be on your reread pile, over and over. I highly recommend this book and encourage that you read the whole series. Great job, JL Drake.

We finally get the finale we have all been waiting for !!!
JL Drake literally goes beyond my expectations every single time. Quiet Empire is the final book of the the quiet mafia series, this entire book followed both Elio and Sienna their entire lives. Book 4 gave us all the answers to every single secret and lie that was thrown at us through out this entire series.
Elio & Sienna finally get the HEA that I’ve been wanting for them for sooo long!!!
It’s a bitter sweet moment because I do not want this to end, I can get lost into this world over and over.
Thank you for an amazing read !!!
5 stars all the way

Wow!! This is the 4th book in this phenomenal series, and Sienna and Elio’s journey continues. This dynamic duo is meant to be together, and they work together to show who is boss in Italy. This author has done an outstanding job in weaving this storyline. This is a beautifully written story with combustible chemistry, revelations, loyalty, friendships, family, secrets, lies, intrigue, twists, emotions, and love, which leads to an action packed, and thrilling addictive page turner.

Quiet Empire is the final book in the Quiet Mafia series and boy did it blow my socks off. Elio and Sienna have worked hard to get where they are and they absolutely deserved their HEA. I'm also really impressed with the character development Sienna went through and I loved how she embraced her newfound self. I can't wait to see what JL Drake has for us next.

Quiet Empire
Quiet Mafia Series, Book 4
By: J.L. Drake
Narrated by: Nelson Hobbs, Anastasia Watley

The final installment and the perfect ending, JL Drake finishes out her Quiet Mafia series with a bang! Elio and Sienna are meant to change history, and no one is going to interfere with their love and mission. Or will they? Drake is adamant about pulling me in, making me wonder, having me suck in my breath and wonder where that came from! I love the crossover characters, the secrets revealed and how each part of the families slowly folded. It's action packed, suspense filled and the best kind of listen. Get all four books now, you don't want to miss a morsel!

Nelson Hobbs and Anastasia Watley finish out the series with their fabulous narration. This team could not have been more perfectly suited as Elio and Sienna. Easily playing off each other, the characters were realistic, easy to follow and made the suspense and passion build in every scene. It's a fabulous listen!

This series has captivated me from book 1 and I can’t believe Elio and Sienna‘s journey is coming to an end!! I cannot believe all the twists and lies throughout this series and especially this book that the MCs had to overcome. Whatever was thrown at them they managed to come out on top and I especially love the way they could only rely on each other. It’s heartwarming to see they were each their number one priorities and I’m really going to miss the family. I’m patiently waiting for this author‘s next book/series!!
